How to copy file path and file name to the clipboard?

[H.W. Alting]

Hi, I would like to know if there's a (hidden) command to copy the full path and filename of a selected file to the clipboard. Until now, I've been using a workaround with a line command like "dir > filename.txt".

If this isn't possible, it may be a useful suggestion to add such a comand to a menu in the next release.

Kind regards,

H. Alting

A) suggestion without preparation for copy one file:
1st: cursor on the file, commandline empty
2nd: press Ctrl+Shift+Enter, this copy path+file in commandline
3rd: Shift+Arrow right (marks commandline)
4th: Ctrl+X copy this to clipboard

hum, doesn't really work i was wondering if you're sure you mean CTRL+X because this just cuts the command line... but CTRL+C doesn't work either... the commandline string is just copied to the clipboard.

Well, the question was "if there's a (hidden) command to copy the full path and filename of a selected file to the clipboard."
In what way does this NOT work?

The command cm_CopyFullNamesToClip has an advantage to the "commandline" way: It supports multiselection.

well, i didn't see he just wanted to copy the filename to the clipboard. i thought he wanted to copy the file itself into the clipbaord, sry pals

I like solution B best. I Never knew there were so many extra commands.

Kind regards to everybody,

If you dare to use the mouse PathCopyEx is a nice little tool.
